Pier Sixty-Six
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States · Independent · Core Luxury
Phillips Petroleum built the tower here in 1965, a space-age hexagonal spire that became Fort Lauderdale's most recognizable silhouette, and threaded the number 66 through every detail: sixty-six spires crown the roofline, the glass elevator takes sixty-six seconds to reach the top, and the rooftop Pier Top lounge completes one full rotation every sixty-six minutes. Frank Sinatra and Liza Minnelli both stopped in during the tower's heyday. After a Tavistock-led redevelopment, the historic tower and its revolving lounge reopened in 2025.
- 325 rooms
- Opened 1959
- Neighborhood: Harbor Heights

About Pier Sixty-Six
- The tower's Googie architecture, all bold concrete curves and space-age optimism, made it the first building in Fort Lauderdale to top 15 stories.
- The original 1959 property had its own private par-3 golf course alongside a 100-room motor hotel, before the tower ever went up.
- Entry-level rooms start at 450 sq ft (42 m²).
History
Phillips Petroleum relinquished ownership in 1985 as part of a corporate bankruptcy liquidation, and Hurricane Irma damaged dozens of rooms in 2017. The 2025 redevelopment, led by Jeffrey Beers International with architects Garcia Stromberg and HKS, centered the new porte cochere on a century-old banyan tree already growing on the site.
The setting
3.7 miles from Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
